Brad Fawley was born in 1954 in the heart of the baby boom, and the events of that generation have shaped who he is. Brad graduated from Marietta College in 1977 with a degree in Biology and every school record for distance running. He was a two time small college NCAA All-American at 5000 meters and cross country. He then earned a Master's Degree in Oceanography from Old Dominion University before attending the University of Virginia School of Law. Brad has been a litigation attorney since 1983 and tried cases throughout the United States. He also holds three US and one Chinese patent for automotive technology. "When I was a kid, I got it in my head that I would read every book in the town library, starting with the first book to the left of the front door and work my way to the end." Early influences include Ray Bradbury, Sinclair Lewis and Willa Cather. "But the idea of writing my own stories came from discovering the Beat writers - especially Kerouac, and Camus. My favorite author is Cormac McCarthy and my favorite novel is his 'Suttree.' I also love the story teller in John Updike. Currently, I have been working my way through James Salter, searching for his stunning gemstone sentences that, unfortunately, are sometimes clouded by puzzling word and tense choices. And, I am in awe of Ocean Vuong's masterpiece, 'On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous.' More about Brad can be found on his author's website at https://www.bradfawley.com/
